Cracklin' Rosie

Shane MacGowan & The Popes

Cracklin' Rosie get on board

We gonna ride till there ain't no more to go

Takin' it slow, lord don't you know

I had me a time with a poor man's lady yeah!



Hitchin' on a twilight train

Ain't nothing here I'd care to take along

'Cept maybe a song to sing when I want

Don't say please to no man for a happy tune



Oh I love my Rosie child

You got the way to make me happy

You and me we go in style

Cracklin' Rose you're a store bought woman

You got me like a guitar humin'

Hang on girl,

Our song keeps runnin' on,

Play it now, play it now, play it now my baby



Oh I love my Rosie child

You got the way to make me happy

Oh, you know we go in style

Cracklin' Rose you're a store bought woman

You got me like a guitar humin'

Hang on girl,

Our song keeps runnin' on,

Play it now, play it now, play it now my baby



Cracklin' Rosie make me smile

And girl well, if it lasts for an hour, well that's all right

'Cause we got all night to set the world right

Find us a dream that don't ask no questions yeah!



Oh I love my Rosie child

You got the way to make me happy

Oh you know we go in style

Cracklin' Rose you're a store bought woman

You got me singing like a guitar humin'

Hang on girl,

'Cause our song keeps runnin' on,

Play it now, play it now, play it now my baby
